Musicians, Composers, and Mixers: Communicating Through Sound

Musical and Rhythmic Intelligence

The capacity to think in music, to hear patterns, recognize them, repeat, and manipulate them. People with strong musical intelligence don't just remember music easily, they can't get it out of their minds.

These students think in sounds, rhythms, and patterns. Learning non-musical information is often easier when converted into a rhyme or chant.
